FOOD & BEVERAGE Solution Guide • DATALOGIC AT A GLANCE Datalogic began its entrepreneurial adventure in 1972, when Dr. Romano Volta started developing and producing optical-electronic control appliances for the packaging, textile and ceramics sectors. Romano Volta sensed the revolutionary scope of the bar code and started developing a manual reader able to read it, combining electronics, mechanics, optics and information technology. In 1974 Datalogic brought this technology into the Retail world, in a supermarket in Troy, Ohio and then applied it to the whole industrial world, giving life to the only true Bar Code Company at a global level. Today, Datalogic is a global leader in the automatic data capture and factory automation markets, specialized in the design and production of bar code readers, mobile computers, sensors for detection, measurement and safety, RFID, vision and laser marking systems. Throughout the entire value chain, Datalogic solutions increase the efficiency and quality for processes in the Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics and Healthcare industries. 45+ 500 engineers 1,200+ years in 11 R&D centers and 3 DL patents of experience Labs in: Italy, USA, Vietnam, filed and more than China, and Germany 350 in approval + 700 3,000 A constant 600 10,6% 612.5 growth 500 Revenues Employees 400 464.5 in 28 countries: 300 invested in 200 20% Americas, R&D (total revenues 100 0 57% EMEAI, 23% APAC Mil Euros) 2014 2019 10 Manufacturing and Repair facilities in US, Brazil, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, China, Vietnam and Australia 2 SOLUTION GUIDE | Food & Beverage | Manufacturing • WHY DATALOGIC Dominant player in both automatic data capture and industrial automation markets Recognized global leader Deep expertise in every target industries Leading innovator Top performing products for all needs Close to customers worldwide presence with thoroughly tailored services End-to-End Solutions to streamline any process Strong culture of high values SOLUTION GUIDE | Food & Beverage | Manufacturing 3 DATALOGIC FOR INDUSTRY 4.0 “Unique portfolio provider of smart, interconnected devices able to protect, identify, sense, check and mark. We‘re focused on Automotive, Electronics, MANU Packaging and General Manufacturing customers inFACTU the Industrial Production worldRING” TECHNOLOGIES FOR DATA GENERATION… The technologies used to generate data by Datalogic can be divided into four categories. They depend on the type and function of the product data or production process: marking (Laser Markers), scanning (Bar Code Readers and Vision Systems), writing and reading (Readers and RFID tags), object and physical feature scanning (Photoelectric Sensors, Smart Cameras and Vision Systems). …AND AUTOMATION IMPLEMENTATION Datalogic products also detect and locate parts during the manufacturing process enabling robot guidance and fully automated processes (Sensors, Smart Cameras and Vision Systems). This can all be safely automated thanks to solutions for machine safeguarding and robotic cell protection (Safety Barriers and Laser Scanners). In all these cases the Datalogic components are perfectly integrated within the systems described by Industry 4.0 through interfaces and standard Industrial Ethernet protocols. In accordance with another Industry 4.0 requirement, Datalogic solutions include smart functions for communication, self-configuration and self diagnostics. 4 SOLUTION GUIDE | Food & Beverage | Manufacturing PACKAGING SMART MANUFACTURING SMART DEVICES ENABLING INDUSTRY 4.0 Driven by Industry 4.0, the packaging industry is aiming for highly flexible workflows, while maximizing productivity and efficiency. Sensors and Safety devices in a smart factory are the key enabler that will help to perform the biggest benefits of this revolution. Smart Sensors help to maximize productivity and reduce machinery downtimes, event data warning messages can be used to prevent potential failures and call for maintenance. Image based barcode readers are also compatible with all OPC UA Clients working in accordance with the AutoID Companion Specification, which integrates automatic data capture and identification technologies into the Industry 4.0 communication through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). SENSOR SOLUTIONS FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE Datalogic provides a complete Sensor Portfolio that is perfectly fit to provide the state-of-the-art solutions for detection and inspection on any automated product line. From specific sensors for labelling or color mark detection up to light grid systems or stainless steel sensors for hygienic requirements. The Datalogic sensor offering is able to provide the right solution to cover the entire production processes. Distance sensor based on TOF or triangulation technology and smart sensor for simple inspection quality check complete the sensor offer adding values for Customer. TOTAL TRACEABILITY Product traceability is becoming more and more important in any industry and requires the identification of items along every manufacturing and intra-logistic process, from raw material receiving down to finished good shipment passing through work-in-progress management and monitoring. Datalogic provides a wide portfolio of products and solutions to solve any traceability need: fixed barcode readers to be installed onto manufacturing equipment, handheld readers or mobile computers for manual scanning operations, smart camera and vision systems to validate lines of text such us expiration dates, batch or serial numbers. In addition to the aforementioned technologies, Datalogic is also able to provide devices able to identify objects with innovative approaches like invisible Digimarc® or Pattern Matching by means of graphical features.
